I feel the same way as you Paul…it costs me 25 dollars just to drive to these inspections…that is why I raised my price to them…and you know what? They don’t call anymore…so the conflict is gone! I don’t have to worry about getting them done in a timely manner and they don’t have to worry about me telling them I can’t get it done in a timely manner…win win situation.

Why did it cost so much? I drive an hour each way to some of mine, asked for $15-$25 extra each even though they are all in the same area, and they paid it.

Mileage will vary not only with our autos but also with what we need to make per day…I can make more money doing literally nothing but marketing then I can doing draw inspections…therefore, FOR ME…it isn’t worth it.

Wendy, I will stop trying to convince you that it isn’t worth it for me, based on my monetary needs, if you will stop arguing that it is worth it…based on your needs…ok?

Wendy,

Quite possibly it is just me…an HOUR of my time to drive somewhere would not begin to be covered in the $ 15-25.00 .

Now back when I first started out quite possibly…but now with K-9 Groom-N,Inc, RadioPet Corporation, Electrical Service Specialists, ESS -Home INspections, ESS- Electrical Seminars and many other little ventures…just not worth my time…thats all…

Besides when they do send me one…lol…it is usually around the corner as Harrisonburg is quite small…lol…only 30,000 people…and I don’t do many draw inspections anyway…so no real problem…

Oh…they are super nice…hope I did not imply they were not…sorry as they have always been very nice on the phone…so no worries as distance is not an option for me…this is why I dont get inspections from 1 hour away…in my home town…I would charge an additional $ 125.00 just to drive it…why pay me when they get someone local…heck I dont blame them…

I’m not trying to convince anyone. I just make sure that I do my weekly or bi-weekly trips to town (which is an hour away) to do my shopping and stuff on the same days as I do draws or anything else monetary. Then I’m not paying the gas to do my shopping at least.
